Over the past several years the Synthetic Environment Database Representation and Interchange Specification (SEDRIS) project has been developed to address the issues of simulation data interchange between heterogeneous applications in a non-ambiguous, lossless fashion. As one of the SEDRIS Associate Members, Reality by Design (RBD) has helped both to define and implement the SEDRIS standard. By ...

The DSOM system realized in a Phase II effort will provide a modular, compact and reconfigurable system with the ability to provide unique and new information about the scene of interest (e.g. temporal and height information) when compared with traditional SAR sensors. When compared with other imaging technologies, DSOM has the important advantages of being operable through cloud cover and at nigh ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is the possibility to revolutionize the treatment of cancer through more sensitive and specific cancer biomarker detection. 1.66 million Americans were diagnosed with cancer in 2014 alone, of which 585,720 died. The sum of all health care costs in 2011 for cancer in the US was $88.7 billion. ...

This SBIR Phase I project will demonstrate the feasibility of producing ophthalmic lenses utilizing a low cost optical printer that will enable the fabrication of superior quality lenses with a low cost optical printer. The result is development of a business model where an eye exam is administered, prescription lenses are printed and glasses assembled and dispensed in a single visit. Upon complet ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will advance a novel probe-based direct transfer (PBDT) printing technology for manufacturing flexible hybrid electronic (FHE) devices. PBDT promises to deliver unprecedented selective, high-fidelity component transfer of a broad range of low-dimensional, high-performance electronic components with diverse architectures and sizes to f ...

The objective of this project is to develop methodology and prototype algorithms for object-level change detection and change explanation using structural SAR image data. Structural SAR image is obtained by the filtration, detion and transformation of local pixel-level formations of strong and weak electromagnetic (EM) responses into higher-level geometric and morphological micro-elements. These ...

Foster-Miller has leveraged its technological leadership in personnel entanglement via an IR&D program and applied it to the Casualty recovery Device (CCRD). The same team that has invented, developed and manufactured the Grab-NET family of non-lethal weapons systems has already been working on the CCRD through IR&D efforts. We have designed, built and successfully tested all of ...

The need to supply an effective shelter for Small Operation Units (SOU) or the single soldier remains a priority. A seamless and light weight SOU shelter that provides all the necessary shelter requirements including CB protection is feasible. The design and fabrication method of this SOU shelter can be optimized by employing a seamless tubular woven structure as the primary component of this sh ...

A B technologies proposes to conduct advanced research leading to development of an enhanced Personal Visualization Environment (PVE) that will provide visualization of fused, multi-sensor, multi-spectral, image and non-image data from external sources. Our progress shows that a lightweight, eyeglass from factor having capabilities of full and partial transmissivity or full immersion virtual view ...

Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination plants provide fresh water for the Navy. However, occasional high concentrations of colloidal solids and plankton/small animal matter can virtually disable the RO system from operating. A lightweight self-cleaning filter is proposed for this RO application. Phase I develops a design and demonstrates the feasibility of the concept. Tests are planned that consid ...
